GMG-Axis (Axis) Geophysics provided three new migrated images: 1) a post-stack finite- difference migration, 2) pre-Slack time migration, and 3) a post-stack depth migration. The pre- stack time migration is the primary image for compérison with an earlier pre-stack time migration done by Wester Geco (WG). Although similar in signal bandwidth, the new pre-stack time migration shows structure more clearly with better spatial continuity and fault definition. The post- stack depth migration has a significant effect on the Manusela structure and may indicate that pre~ stack depth migration is warranted. “The forward path from here is: obiain the elready-scheduled AVO volumes (intercept, gradient) from the pre-stack time migrated gathers; post the horizons (old picks), extract the values, compare the picking of the old data to the new data, with the added information of the intereept and gradient; revise the picks; extract the new horizons’ intercept and gradient maps for Manusela; compare the maps to the Phase 1 modcling; write the report for the next step. Also, obtain and load the velocity volume (VRMS and VINT) derived from the pre-stack time migrated data. Use it to help update the new horizon picks, The reprocessing cffort to date at Axis has been strictly azimuthally isotropic. ‘Whether or not to process further in an azimuthally isotropic mode will depend on the results of the AVO results. an Summary of the Processing Volumes ‘The maior differences between te Axis and WG processing are in the user selection of statics picks, velocity picks, velocity applications (The AZIM technology of Axis), and to a lesser extent, migration algorithms, The AZIM technology of Axis determines the time shifis as a function of offset, for a seties of time windows down the trace that better align the reflection events. Axis provided three migration outputs: 1) a posi-stack finite difference migration, 2) a pre-steck time migration, and 3) a post-stack depth migration, The processing flows for each of these, as well as the WG pre-stack time migration are given in Appendix 1. Comparison of Axis PSTM and WG PSTM Accompanying this document is a Powerpoint file (Oseil-Axis- WG-PSTM.ppt) containing some ‘comparative inline, eross-lines and time-slices of the Axis PSTM and the WG PSTM. A more complete set of comparison sections are being emailed separately. ‘The WG data have been time- shifted up by 376ms‘o tie with the datum used by Axis. The color scales have been chosen to be similar to those used by Axis in earlier Powerpoint displays. The horizons files corresponding to the Lower Nief, Kola and Manusela as picked on the WG data are posted on the sections as well [Lyn Incorporated vel 2817-1238 172 Pena, Ste F fax. 281-497-1289 Housten, T7107 emai LynmeartalgpolconThe Axis PSTM results appear to show better structural definition (j,¢. continuity end faulting) than the WG PSTM. We believe that this is due primarily to better handling of refraction statics and careful selection of migration velocities. In some locations, the Axis PSTM shows better signal bandwidth, for example, on XL 6200, at stn 2420, at 1.0 sec (see slides 7.8 of the above ppt), but on average the two results appear to have similar frequency content, The time-slice comparisons substantiate the better continuity on the Axis data. Another attached file (Poss_Manusela_Prospect) from Scott Schapper (Axis) shows a possible shallow fault block of the Manuscla that is seen on the Axis PSTM. Synthetic seismograms have been computed by Aais from well logs supplied at Oseil 1,2 and 4 Overall, the well ties are quite good and are emailed in a preliminary report ( prelim tie ppt ) Comparsion of Axis Post-stack depth migration with Axis PSTM (velocity field to follow) In addition to the PSTM, Axis has also provided a post-stack depth migration. The input to this migration was the pre-stack time migrated stack de-migrated with the final velocity field. The de- migrated data are then run through a post-stack depth migration, using a smoothed interval-velocity field determined from the PSTM velocity field. A‘ter the depth migration, the date are in depth (in feet), and sometimes this creates problems or unnecessary complications when trying to compare the depth migration with prior time-processing. The depth migration depth volume was converted to time using @ single, average stratified earth velocity field, typical for the Oseil survey. Now, since we ere back in time, using a function that is approximately right for some of the Oseil survey, itis very easy to compare the “time” sections post-depth migration to PSTM. Bill Wepfer at Axis is to be commended for his practical and useful approach. ‘The depth migration result shows dramatic changes in structure of the Lower Nief, Kola and ‘Manusela formations. Some of this change would be seen with a simple time-to-depth conversion of the PSTM volume using the migration velocity field, However, the differences between the PSTM and post-stack depth migration are more that vertical time shifts. A simple comparison between a time-to-depth conversion of the PSTM volume with the post-stack depth migration should be made to determine if a pre-stack depth migration is indeed warranted. ‘The post-stack depth migration has “warped” the time structure: between lines 2410-2510 the horst block appears larger, and has potentially more acreage under clasure, that would be drained by appropriate horizontal drilling. See the emailed- file Axis PSTM-Axis post-SDM for more comparison. Page 2 of &Recommendations for Future Work As of today, we still need the AVO information to determine the next steps. ‘The forward path from here is: obtain the already-scheduled AVO volumes (intercept, gradient) from the prestaok time migrated gathers: post the horizons (old picks), extract the values, compare the picking of the old data to the new data, with the added information of the intercept and gradient; revise the picks; extract the new horizons’ intercept and gradient maps for Manusele; compare the maps to the Phase 1 modeling; write the report for the next step. Also, obtain and load the velocity volume (VRMS and VINT) derived from the prestack time migrated data. Use it to help update the new horizon picks. Respectfully submitted, Wake.
